Tivo yes...somthing like 12.95 a month....PS3...no idea.

Tivo is TRASH. They track your shows/usage and sell that information to outside companies. There was a write up in more than a few newspapers & Wired a year ago. I'll stick with Internet cable & Brighthouse. $45/mo is worth it. Tivo can f**k off!

when do you think we'll actually be able to reserve PS3 at the stores?

i want to make sure i get mine the day it comes out... i dont wanna wait forever like loads and loads of people had to do for xbox 360

Once Sony makes their official announcement (maybe in June/July), you can expect stores will already have their allotments soon. I'll be reserving my 1 + 10 for Ebay quick.

check aorund for stores that will reserve ps3's first...

as most major ones didn't allow for them it may be first come, first serve....

Originally posted by saintjohnson wow I take it you've never looked at one then.... cuz there is a difference, and in terms of broadcasts, its called upconverstion....which is standard in all HDTV's. And the p which stands for progressive, is, in short, much better then i, which means interlaced.... And if you say that p isn't that much better then i, then why did progressive dvd(now standard) take over the market so fast? and virtually wipe out any interlaced DVD player....umm,cuz I'm willing to bet thats what you have now... in terms up a 1080p boradcast you're right....probably never will be...but its the technolgy involved that makes the picture...

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that on paper 1080p is superior to either 1080i or 720p. But in the real word, its useless except "maybe" the PS3... and even the upconversion your speaking of is simply taking a inferior feed and upsampling it to 1080p, its not better. Its like taking a picture and stretching it.

any link to a good non expensive player ?

i'll tell you about mine... others i don't know/read more reviews.

Panasonic DVD-S49, maybe newer models are even better.

Originally posted by malek dude, there's no 1080p feeds either on cable or satelite... its no use.

But you'll eventually be able to but 1080p movies on Blu-Ray disks.

Originally posted by trancec0re Launch titles: 30-50 Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 5, Tekken 6, Final Fantasy (more than one), Ridge Racer 6, Gran Turismo 5...

Ridge Racer will no doubt be there for the launch as it's pretty much a Sony tradition for the launch of a new console. Tekken 6 and GT5 are looking like good bets for a first day release. Metal Gear may be after, as Konami have never released an MGS game as a launch title. I don't know if the first 2 were just slower in production or if there was other reasons, but MGS4 looks like the most completed of the PS3 games I've seen so far. A PS3 Resi game is unlikely to be ready for the console launch, and a Final Fantasy game even more so. I'd be more inclined to believe that Grand Theft Auto 4 will be out closer to the release date than those two. Rockstar are definitely working on it, but the bastards are keeping so damn quiet about it as usual. The bastards!

Also Unreal Tournament 2007 looks astonishing. Really showing what the new console is capable of. Can't wait to get my hands on that one!

Check out the Philips DVP-642. You can buy it brand new at Wal-Mart for $59.99 although most places like Target sell it for 10 bucks more. I just picked mine up about 3 weeks back. Plays anything you download off the internet. Divx, Xvid, etc. The only thing it WILL NOT play is Qpel encoded Divx\Xvid files although most shit you download isn't going to be encoded with this lame ass method. I recently downloaded the entire 2nd season of Carnivale, put it on a single DVD-R, and have been watching through the season on my new player.

true...

But when something truely has 2 million pixles, vs the standard one million pixels....(1080i)

From you're chatter, you have yet to mention that you've actaully seen one up close. There is a difference to be seen....it has to been seen to be belived. And no, its not just on paper.

To bring it up again I'm willing to bet that you're dvd player is progressive scan, and not interlaced....(check the back, component connections? then its progressive)

you're right its an upconvert. BUT GO LOOK AT ONE, and don't argue with me. Cuz I sell the dam things i have to see them everyday. I know the technololgy like the back of my hand. and for people reading this, no I can't you a discount.

i ended up buying an LG LDA-530

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers...&Search=Search&

the only negative stuff is the VERY SMALL subtitle size when playing xvids and the grey font behind them

wouldnt that be determined by the divx file rather than the player if the subs are embedded?

they weren't embedded since i use a .srt/.sub file for each .avi

New update info on PS3 Launching. Dunno if someone talked about it no the forums already.

then cant you increase the font size in the sub file....then burn it?

the problem is not the sub file, i eventually had to upgrade the firmware (unofficial one that voids the warranty but fuck it no more annoying gray background)

i bought this $120 LiteOn DVD Recorder for the family and found out it supports up to divx6. So I "borrowed" Kill Bill, and through hours of fascination, I found out about a "fake" divx distributed from Microsoft. So, countless burned dvd's later, i re-encoded them and boom, it worked. Even so, it wasn't worth the work, i should've just watched it on the computer
